Shane and Dana Herzog never have to prove their parental mettle after taking four children to the Shell Houston Open on Sunday.

The Herzogs, who live in the Champions area, are at the top of the leader board for families with children in the single digits, age-wise. Others carded a couple of kids but maybe older and less dependent for dependents.

Family time came down to a decision by dad, who follows the sport enthusiastically, said Dana Herzog, a 37 year-old homemaker.

“He’s the golf fan; we’re the golf-fan wannabees,” she said.

The Herzogs have attended many pro golf tournaments before, but not in the familial sense.

“It wasn’t as easy as it was before when it was just the two of us,” said Shane Herzog.
